Formula One champion Michael Schumacher and Radiohead singer Thom Yorke are among those helping an Oxfordshire charity.

The Ferrari driver has signed a team cap and Thom Yorke, who went to Abingdon School, a copy of the Oxford band's combined CD and book, Kid A.

The items will be auctioned in aid of Kennington Overseas Aid charity, which was set up by villagers to raise money to help people in developing countries. This year, members want to raise thousands of pounds for AfPic (Action for People in Conflict), which is building an orphanage in Kenya. The main building of the orphanage is to be named Kennington in honour of the fundraisers.

KOA spokesman Sylvia Vetta, said: "One of our members had links with the Ferrari team and we happen to know the person who cuts Thom's hair."
